Description Chris Cormack 2010-11-14 21:05:18 UTC 
When we are connecting across the internet to LDAP servers, we should be using LDAPS if at all possible.

I propose adding another variable to the LDAP config and changing C4::Auth_with_ldap to be able to do LDAP or LDAPS

Net::LDAPS is functionally equivalent to Net::LDAP so will require minimal code changes.
Comment 1 Dobrica Pavlinusic 2010-11-15 09:44:23 UTC 
This doesn't require code changes at all. If LDAP server is specified as

<hostname>ldaps://ldap.example.com</hostname>

Net::LDAP will use SSL connection to it. I'm using similar configuration for a while.
